We are looking for information on Frank Bloom born 1860, died 1936. He would be my g-grandfather. We know he moved to the US in 1863, but his origins are still up in the air. Some documents say he's from England, others say Germany. He was married to Hedwig "Hattie" Gassen. They had three children. Any help would be appreciated!2015-07-12 00:31:33ZPattiD55http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1183/mb.ashxRe: Blooms of marylandhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/553.1.2.1/mb.ashx
Hi Karlene,<br><br>John and Rachel were my great-great-great grandparents. I guess that makes us 4th cousins, or 4th cousins once removed. My great-great grandmother was Catherine b. 1857, and she married John Tyler Picking. Imagine, it was 150 years ago this year that John died in Andersonville. 2015-06-27 05:02:42Zbrianw11797http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/553.1.2.1/mb.ashxblooms in Mississippi and Louisianahttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1194/mb.ashx

A long anticipated book is finally out. "A Bloom By Any Name" was published last month and is now available at Amazon in paperback or Kindle version.<br><br>Specifically about some of the "Ancestors and Descendants of Johann Peter Blum 1732-1814." A German immigrant Johann was a resident of Hunterdon County, New Jersey and is the progenitor of tens of thousands of descendants. The book is the product of exhaustive research spanning several years and includes sources from the archives of Germany.<br><br>Unfortunately a lack of documentation makes some aspects of the Blum/Bloom history difficult to prove one way or another. A number of things passed down through the generations as fact by family historians are now called into question with revelations from this book. However, the author does an excellent job of documenting how he came to the conclusions he does while building an easily understood case that supports his conclusions. In every case however he leaves it "to the reader to decide."<br><br>Author Lee Bloom is not only a descendant of Johann's but is an experienced, thoughtful and thorough investigator. You'll find his discoveries an interesting read, especially for those who enjoy American history. "A Bloom By Any Name" will be a valuable tool and resource for any serious Blum/Bloom family historian, I hope you'll check it out at the following link:<br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/ABloomByAnyName-Amazon" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ABloomByAnyName-Amazon</a><br>2015-05-18 18:38:09ZRickLGleasonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1192/mb.ashxBloom and Hogg from Pennsylvania http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1191/mb.ashx

A distant cousin of mine and a descendant of Johann Peter Blum (1731-1814) and his wife Eva Ann Wagner (1733-1796) is currently finishing a comprehensive book he has thoroughly researched in Germany that finally and accurately traces the Bloom family line back quite a few generations. <br><br>We are both decsendants of Johann's son Wilhelm (William) Bloom (1752-1828) a pioneer settler of Clearfield County, PA.

Nothing earth-shattering (well maybe one or two things), but they're certainly guaranteed to be surprising regardless.

The book will be published and ready for distribution no later than August of 2015 for the Bloom family reunion planned to take place in Clearfield, PA.<br><br>It has recently come to my attention that some of Wilhelm Bloom's origins found in my biography of him, but for many years widely accepted as fact, are now in question. Nothing earth-shattering (well maybe one or two things), but they're certainly guaranteed to be surprising regardless. These discrepencies will be revealed in their entirety and with sufficient explanation in the forthcoming book. Once published they will also be included in future additions of my biography that can be downloaded at the following link.<br><br>More on the book, the reunion and plans for a future organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Bloom family are underway and will be announced also by August of 2015.<br><br>For more information about the upcoming August 2015 family reunion and other contact data click on the link below.

Bloom is a common name, but I'm responding because my grandfather was Abraham Bloom, also from Cleveland. I was born in Cleveland and remember the relatives well since I returned to visit them over the years. My grandfather came from Russia. He was also from the Ukraine, but we don't know the exact place in the Ukraine. He went to Poland, married his wife Elke, and then came to the United states in the early 1900's..about 1907. He and his brothers settled in Cleveland. I remember his brother, Sol, who had a farm in Geneva, Ohio..very close to Cleveland. The whole family used to gather at the "Bloom Farm." Could be no relation to your great grandfather, but decided to respond since the surname AND Cleveland at least made me take notice. <br>Ellen (Bloom) Kossoris2014-02-18 17:35:18Zelkossorishttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1174.1/mb.ashxRe: Abe Sam Benny Bloomhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/35.61.2.1.2/mb.ashx

Hi my name is Chrissie van Tol below is my lineage to William Bloom. I am on here to let anyone related to William Bloom that there is going to be a reunion/meetup of his decedents in the summer of 2015. We've given ourselves a few years to find people and let them know. Please contact me: <a href="mailto://chrissievt@gmail.com">chrissievt@gmail.com</a> and let me know if you are interested in attending. There are no logistics associated with event yet. We need to get a ballpark figure of attendees before we can book a venue.

This came in an album of old family photos. Most were identified, but several were not. Based on who else was in the album, time, place, generation etc... I can start by guessing this is either Rose (nee Blum/Bloom) Berger b. June 1885 in Russia (Kovno), d. 1971 in Cleveland, married to Herman Berger, children Phillip and Miriam. OR this might be Rose (nee Berger) Bloom b.1890 in Austria, d. unknown, lived in Cleveland and Los Angeles. Married to Harry Bloom.2014-10-13 17:09:08Zdaveandmelanie179http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1185/mb.ashxBloom or Blum in Clevelandhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1174/mb.ashx
My Great-Grandfather, Louis Bloom (Eleizer bar Yehuda Leib), his siblings Harry and Rose, and his father who went by Levin or Lev Blum all immigrated to Cleveland around 1895. They came from Russia. I believe they were from Lithuania, likely Kanaus or a smaller town in that district. I'd like to learn more of their history and their ancestors. I'd also like to hear about their descendants. I know all of Louis' descendants, but have nothing on the extended family. 2014-02-17 23:47:00Zdaveandmelanie179http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1174/mb.ashxRe: Bloom or Blum in Clevelandhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1174.1.1/mb.ashx
Thanks for the response. It does surprise me how many Blooms there are... especially in Cleveland. Makes me wonder who was related to whom back in Russia (and elsewhere of course) before immigrating. And even if not related, if any of them knew each other. Although the community was large in Cleveland back then, it seems to have been fairly close-knit. <br>None of the first names you mention are familiar to me except Abraham. My great-great-grandfather, Yehuda Leib (he went by Levin) was in one record listed as Abe. Bit of a head-scratcher. Anyways.. thanks for writing. Sounds like we have a shared history if not a shared ancestor.<br>Dave Bloom2014-02-19 20:00:12Zdaveandmelanie179http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1174.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Callie Lloyd Bloom aka Rev.

This post is bittersweet for me, I am looking into my grandfathers history and trying to find out why he was adopted.<br>His name is Virgil Nelson Bloom born June 28, 1922 in Flint Genessee county Michigan. On his birth certificate Archer Rose and Ruth Miller are listed as his birth parents. My grandfathers understanding is that they had passed at a young age, in fact they both lived to old age, I have found records on them both.<br>Virgil dropped off at a boys home with nuns at about age 6, till his adoptive parents took him into their home when he was about 8 years old. We were told that his name was John Edward Rose before the adoption took place. <br>If someone would possibly be able to find out ANY information it would be helpful. I wanted to know what actually took place. As I said this is bittersweet because as I signed on to the message board, I came across a couple of postings of my grandfather, who was looking for his family in 2002 to no avail, he has currently been deceased since 2006. I would like to be able to find out what he wasn't able to. <br>Thank you and I appreciate any and all information.2014-03-13 04:16:41Zpowellhollyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/1175/mb.ashxRe: Thomas Bloomhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bloom/461.2/mb.ashx
